Very, very rich and wonderful during the summer months. TIP: This melts slower if you can tuck the dish into a large Igloo ice chest. You'll want to make sure everyone is ready to eat this when you go to serve it!

This is a dead-ringer for the famous DQ Buster Bar. Summarizing reviewers tips that I used: 1) 9" spring form pan works great, 2) semi-sweet chocolate squares, 6 to 8 ounces, and 3) Spanish peanuts. Here's what I learned: 1) as the chocolate mixture begins to boil, turn the heat down (once it begins to boil, it will continue even at a lower temperature) because the chocolate can stick if you are using a low quality pan, 2) it goes without saying, but use a high quality vanilla ice cream, since that's a major ingredient, 3) The recipe calls for a pound of sandwich cookies, but does not mention removing the centers, which I did and I assume is correct, but that is something that should be clarified for inexperienced cooks. High marks to Tym for an excellent idea.

This was fantastic! I made this for a family party and everyone raved about the recipe. My family said it was better than a traditional store bought ice cream cake. I used store bought fudge in place of the chocolate mixture to save time. I wouldn't recommend this becuase the fudge oozed out a little after I cut the dessert. I also created layers starting with the crust, ice cream, crust, peanuts, ice cream, and fudge.

YUM! this was awesome...used a little less margarine in the base, a few more chocolate chips in the fudge, but otherwise, followed directions exactly. We had it for about a week (just 2 of us!) and it just seemed to get better every day as the fudge sauce flavours really came together. will definitely make again!

This was great! I used spanish peanuts instead of the dry roasted, I would highly suggest that. Ice Cream, Hot Fudge, and cookies, it does not get any better. Definately take the time to make the hot fudge it is worh it.

Fabulous dessert - family loved it. Loved the choc. sauce and the dry roasted pnuts were fine. Next time I will bake in springform pan as others suggested - 9x13 pan takes up alot of space in the freezer. Also as someone else said, take out of freezer about 15 minutes before serving - very hard to cut.

Based on the response I had serving this at a family get-together over the weekend, I had to give it 5 stars. Everyone was impressed that the fudge saunce was from scratch- and it wasn't difficult at all! This is the first ice cream dessert I've really done, I usually bake something. It was nice to not turn on the oven for a dessert. My in-laws were thrilled that I gave them the leftovers.

Holy Moley. Sure to inspire some praise if you take it to a party. This recipe really brought back memories as my midwestern mom used to make it for a summer dessert. We called it peanut buster parfait -- like the ones at Dairy Queen, except with the oreo crust. This is why I use the Spanish peanuts instead of the dry roasted because it makes it more DQ peanut buster parfait-like. I also add some more peanuts on top of the chocolate sauce because it just looks better. Very very important to make sure that chocolate sauce is cooled before you layer it on the ice cream. Next time I make it, I'm thinking of experimenting with perhaps mint oreos, or switching up the ice cream flavor.

I made this for the 4th of July and it was a big hit. I heard a lot of the same comments though....the crust is WAY too thick. You could barely cut through it. I would probably use half of it next time. Also, I think Spanish peanuts would taste better. Very good overall.

This dessert was super easy and tastes awesome. I put it in a 10" springform pan which I lightly greased as others had suggested. I used slightly less ice cream than the recipe called for and reserved some of the cookie crumbs to sprinkle on top of the ice cream along with the peanut. It was easy to cut and remove from the pan after setting out for 10 minutes. I plan on making more of the fusge sauce to keep in the fridge as this is way better than any store bought fudge sauce. Thanks for the recipe. I'll be making this one again!

This is so good, didnt change a thing except added more ice cream. Took advice of another reviewer, and made the sauce first, so it had time to cool. It does taste like a buster bar. This is a keeper.Thanks for the recipe.

I made this dessert yesterday for my brother's birthday, and everyone licked the plates!! I didn't do any changes or substitutes - and found the top chocolate sauce to be a little too sweet. I will be making this dessert again next Saturday for a family barbeque and the only thing I'll do differently will be cutting down the sugar to half cup, I think. But that's obviously my taste of sweetness! Thanks so much for this recipe.

The first time I made this recipe, I modified slightly due to ingredients I had on hand. I used three sleeves of Girl Scout Thin Mints for the cookie base (two sleeves = one box seemed just lighter than I wanted), and I did not use nuts. I made the mistake of not boiling the topping for the full 8 minutes, so it never thickened properly and ran slightly after I sliced the dessert. The second time I made this, I was all out of cookies, so I made a basic brownie in a 9 x 13 pan, but then cut out a 8" circle from there to set as a base in a springform pan like others recommnended using. I then topped the cooled brownie with chocolate mint ice cream, and took the remaining brownie scraps that were left from the cutout and broke them up to peanut size and sprinkled those over the ice cream. I them made sure I boiled the topping for 9 minutes, to be safe, and topped it off. I froze it for 24 hours before serving. It was extremely rich and absolutely wonderful!
